rev cgi - put url & read from

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jim,

Usually, I use open/read/close file, because it gives me more control  
over the size of the chunks to be read. This allows be to create a  
very smooth user experience.

I never checked it, but I presume that libUrl uses the same read/write/ 
close file commands to deal with local files, while it uses socket  
communication for non-local files.

If I am right, issueing the read command yourself is a tiny fraction  
of an i'th of a millisecond faster than using the put url command.
